Ali, 16, also got a ticking off from producers over his disparaging comments about women – as he repeatedly calls young women “slags” and rants about menstruation on his personal Twitter account.

But bosses are understood to have stopped short of further action, after giving him the teenager the benefit of the doubt because of his age.

A source said: “Ali’s behaviour online has been inappropriate at times.

The 16-year-old has come under fire for a series of insensitive tweets

Ali has branded women 'slags' online, and complained about menstruation

“He’s supposed to be representing BGT but instead is setting an extremely bad example for his young fans.

“Producers were not happy when they saw he had posted such an inflammatory picture on his Twitter as well as a host of disparaging comments about women.

The teen has also been caught making racially insensitive tweets

“It’s not only a huge embarrassment for Ali, it’s a massive embarrassment for the show too, but producers decided on this occasion to give him the benefit of the doubt and leave him with a warning because he’s only 16.

“But they will not tolerate contestants using this kind of language as above all BGT celebrates diversity.”

One tweet in particular is of an unsuspecting black woman shopping labelled “Black Friday” which appears to have been taken on Snapchat, and has been “liked” by his girlfriend and dance partner, Grace.

The teen, from Hartlepool in north-east England, also frequently calls women “slags” online and rants about women’s menstruation.

Bosses have given the teenager a warning over the insensitive comments, some of which have been liked by his girlfriend and dance partner

He writes: “Hate it how girls have periods, all they do is moan and take there mood out on you.”

And in another post, he says: “Hate it how lasses stick there arses out on photos just to get more likes #slags. Like if they had a nice a** they wouldn’t stick it out.”

He also shared a picture of a signpost that read “slag lane” alongside the comment “had a few ex’s from there.”

OK!

But the show bosses have decided not to take any further action due to Ali's young age
